Ramona
welcomed members and guests.Eddie
Conner led us in a guided meditation “Connect with your higher self, heart and
soul” via Zoom.Thank you Eddie for your
amazing meditations and for coming to Michigan again this coming July.

In Burbank
a member recorded Eddie’s meditation on the same subject as tonight’s meeting. To listen you will need to download the
following file:

What are
our inner thoughts? Abraham encourages
us to soothe ourselves into alignment.
Remind ourselves of what’s right in our lives, not what’s wrong. Placing your thoughts and intentions in the
forefront of your mind and heart shifts your entire life for the better. Counting our blessings and focusing on what’s
right really works.

How do we
get to the point of being in control under all circumstances? We can leave bad circumstances, but wherever
we go, the issue follows. Why? Because many times the issue is within
us. We must change our perspectives, our
thoughts, and our feelings first so that we don’t repeat history with different
people, places, circumstances and situations.

Try
acknowledging people’s higher selves when you communicate with them.

Change your perspective. Change your life…

… and realign
and reconnect to your true core essence so you are in control of your
circumstances, not controlled BY them. When
confronted by someone or something that brings back bad memories and feelings,
try the following cures:

·Show gratitude and appreciation for
what they taught you.

·Bless them.

·Wish them well.

·Send pure feel-good prayers.

·Make a new choice to feel good.

·Acknowledge the negative feeling
with love. Then thank them until you
feel it in your heart, mind and soul.

·Remember these feelings, these
people cause us to expand.

·Always wish people well.

·Practice forgiveness.

·Love doesn’t hurt; love lifts us up.

·Wish them well and let them go.

Observation
– there’s good control and bad control.

Choosing to
feel good takes more conscious energy than feeling out of control. Sometimes our out of control feeling is just
a habit of old thoughts that are on auto pilot.

Abraham’s power of meditation
practices.

·Start your day with a 5, 10 or
15-minute morning well-being meditation.
This will set the tone for the day and helps you step out of your old,
outdated auto-pilot habits.

·When we choose to soothe our
thoughts through meditation we live a solution oriented life that feels much
better.

·We can’t control others, but we can
control how we see, hear and feel the world from core essence.

Ramona started the discussion by asking “Who has had a dream come true?” And “Who has dreams that haven’t come true?”.

Sometimes our dreams don’t come true because we have doubts and contradictions. It’s like having a train with two engines, but one is on the back of the train pulling in the opposite direction. Conflicting thoughts create fear, habit and insecurity because we are not thinking thoughts about what we want. We are focused on thoughts about what we have, what is. These are thoughts that don’t serve our purpose.

What happens when we share our dreams with the wrong people? Typically, they tell us every reason our dream won’t come true. It waters down our desires, dreams and goals. When someone tries to tell us why our dream won’t come true, remember to say to yourself “I DON’T CARE!” to release their negativity.

The same is true when we find ourselves telling our story over and over. Everything we experience is an indication of our being, or NOT being, in alignment. The feeling of alignment has these characteristics:

That we are in the flow.

It feels good.

Appreciation.

Gratitude.

Happiness.

As an example, close your eyes and think of a dream you’ve had for a while. It hasn’t happened yet…maybe you’ve given up on the dream. It’s like holding a glass of water. For a short time, it doesn’t feel heavy. But after a while, it can feel quite heavy. The weight of the glass hasn’t changed. The same is true of our dreams. Holding on to them will weigh us down and generate other like-minded thoughts.

Some examples of limiting thoughts are:

I’m not skinny.

It’s too hard.

I have bad luck.

They’ll be jealous of me.

I’m not smart enough.

So, how do we make our dreams come true? Make a plan but start general, e.g. “I plan to feel good today”. Plan to be in a place where ideas flow easily. The better we feel, the more effective and better feeling every plan will be. Then pay attention to emotions. When they dip down, catch them, rebalance, take deep breaths, meditate, go outside for a breath of fresh air, take a walk. Continue these activities as needed. Letting go of resistant thoughts will place us in the receiving mode.

Be ready to be ready. Take 15 minutes a day. Reconnect, meditate, do something to quiet the mind. The more we do it daily, the more we will be able to say “I’m ready to be ready.” Ideas will flow. We are not facing reality…we’re creating it. And it all starts with getting ourselves into alignment.

About Us

We believe we create our own reality. You get what you think and feel. So think about what you want and feel good about it and it will come to you. Remember, a closed mind has the comfort of certainty; an open mind is receptive to growth.
